Guys
The way this started is that he called about the 2284 that I have for sale. As most of you know that tractor has a brand new Kohler CH22, a new drive shaft, new muffler, fresh paint, new PTO belt, 60” Haban deck, new Hy-Tran and filter, everything works and more than I care to think about. Anyway he starts telling me he has a 1782 and that the only thing wrong with it is that the deck has a couple holes and he would really like to get a Haban for it. So I offer to sell him one of the Haban’s I have. He comes up to my place tries out my 2282 and my 2284 and now he thinks I should trade him even his 1782 for my 2284. I know the diesels are cool but reality time; the engine is an obsolete engine now from what I can find on the Bota engine web site. Looking at the Cub parts site a lot of parts are NLA little things like the injection pump. My guess is the electrical system in this one is rotted to death, he bragged about how he has a Hotsy pressure washer and washes the tractor often. I’m thinking Oh goody its rusted solid.
